News of the Future This Week, January 24, 2018

“There are no right answers to wrong questions.”–Ursula K. Le Guin

Le Guin in 2004

This week’s future news is dedicated to the author of my favorite Science Fiction novel, Ursula Le Guin. She died yesterday at age 88. Her 1971 novel, The Lathe of Heaven, depicted a vision of a mildly dysfunctional Portland, Oregon, on the verge of a major apocalypse, at the turn of the 20th century. But the real message, amidst the effects of chaos, complexity and unintended consequences, was “think globally, act locally.” It is a must for anyone seriously interested in how our thoughts and actions create our future.
